Great benefits and work culture - Engineer II Edwards Lifesciences Employee Review

-Long work hours. There simply aren't enough employees to handle all of the work. In general, everyone just understands we are all busy but it is common for emails/meetings/calls to go unanswered. -Lots of tribal knowledge, especially in documentation. There are efforts to improve this, but documentation isn't standardized between each region/team, and that results in a lot of confusion and misunderstandings. -A large workforce means that teams often work in silos and each team may be dedicated to various responsibilities. It can take a while to get something done in between finding the right people, scheduling, and executing projects. -Career growth opportunities can be hard to come by. Depending on the team, there may not be any openings to move up, and the requirements for doing so can be subjective. A high-visibility project can have far more weight than the typical sustaining work being performed, even if the sustaining work takes far more time and effort.
